27. Probably for the best

There’s some folks here who refuse to believe that Trump‘s cult thrives on conflict and confrontation. They always assume that we’re spoiling for the fight.

Like you, if one of them wants to get into it I’m not going to stand down and let the lies go on. I know this about myself and it’s why I’ve decided to keep my contact with Republicans to a minimum when I can.

But it’s important we don’t let the lies go uncorrected in my opinion, and that’s going to get very difficult in our new right wing propaganda world going forward. It’s a good thing that some of us still have the courage to take a stand when and where we can. Sharing those stories so we all know we’re not alone will become increasingly necessary because it’s going to get very tough for all of us very quickly.
